KARACHI: Investigators have claimed they have found leads to a terror group operating from the Afghan border city of Kandahar that is likely behind the suicide bombing earlier in the week that ripped through a luxury hotel in Quetta minutes before the Chinese ambassador was due to return there.
Intelligence officials said Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant Ainuz Zaman Akhunzada is suspected to have masterminded Wednesday’s vehicle borne attack that killed five people and injured nine others. Soon after the attack, the Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said that the Chinese ambassador and his delegation was not in the hotel when the terrorist struck the building.
